MISSING MAN MYSTERY Tad Stoner tad.stoner@ieyenews.com
No leads, few clues and an ongoing search was all police could say yesterday, the fourth day of the search for missing teacher and water sports instructor Nathan Clarke, 31. Flanked by Mr Clarke’s fiancee, Lisa Beck, and her parents, Philip and Elizabeth Beck who arrived in from London on Tuesday night,

RCIPS Detective Superintendent Marlon Bodden said a 25-member search team, assisted by four marine vessels, divers, sniffer dogs, 60 volunteers and a fixed-wing aircraft continued to scour the area between Governor’s Beach, West Bay’s Kittiwake dive site, inland across the Esterley Tibbetts Highway and 400 metres offshore. “We have mounted a land and
sea search and have seen nothing suggesting any evidence whether Nathan Clarke is in the area or not. “A significant amount of offers have been accepted to come out and help search the area,” Mr Bodden said, “and we have been in touch with neighbouring law enforcement in the region.” At the moment, he said, nothing indicated foul play.

Go Red for heart health Cayman women will be dressing in red for heart health on Friday, when the Cayman Heart Fund (CHF) is partnering with Baptist Health International to bring the 3rd Annual Red Dress Learn & Live Luncheon, to mark Heart Awareness Month. The Luncheon will be preceded by a Women’s Heart Care Extravaganza Expo. Keynote speaker at the luncheon, Dr. Michael Ozner, will be speaking on the topic: “A Six-week Cardiac Makeover for a Lifetime of Optimal Health.” Dr. Ozner is the best-selling author of “Miami Mediterranean Diet” which was voted as one of the top three most popular diets of 2011. Secretary to the CHF Charmaine Moss explained the purpose of the luncheon: “It aims to educate participants about their risk of heart disease and what they can do to decrease that risk. It also encourages everyone to spread the word throughout the community. “Most people know someone affected by heart disease: ‘Heart disease is the number-one killer of women,’ however, only half of women recognise it as their leading killer,” Ms Moss added. “All proceeds from this event will benefit Cayman Heart Fund in their efforts to alert, reduce, and prevent heart disease in the Cayman Islands.” On the same day the Cayman Heart Fund is inviting all schools and other organisations to participate in the Red Dress-Down Day. “We ask that whatever contribution they collect to contact me for collection. Also, we invite them to take a picture and submit it to us at the Cayman Heart Fund,” Ms Moss added. The Women’s Heart Care Expo will open at 10:30am until the luncheon begins at 12:30pm. Expo attendees will enjoy a musical interlude by Kate Allenger and exhibits from business will include: Mobile Fitness Solutions, CrossFit 7 Mile, Bliss Living Yoga, Body Works, Silver Rain Spa, Chocolate Creations, Black Trumpet, Tea Time in Cayman, Gawk & Leer, Audi (Arch Automotive), Kara’s Glass Garden, Beach Bubbles, A to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

Visiting Dermatologist
Kirkland Nixon and his beautiful orchids.
Christopher Tobutt christopher.tobutt@ieyenews.com
Ever since retiring from the fire service in 2005 as Cayman’s top fireman, Kirkland Nixon has been attending to very different kinds of ‘flame,” – the beautiful and delicate flowers of orchids which grow in his shade-house in Savannah. “My first encounter with orchids was through my wife; she had brought quite a number in Jamaica. She was planning to decorate our house, which was brand new thenthis was about 1983. She brought the orchids outside and said: ‘You’ve got to take care of these,” he recalled. “Well they were so beautiful, and I knew a lady who grew orchids - Miss Joyce Hilton. She took me into her orchid house and showed me how to grow them. Miss Hilton was President of

the Cayman Orchid Society at that time and encouraged Mr. Nixon to join too. Since then he has been very active in the Society, and has been President himself on two separate occasions. Explaining how he got the orchid ‘bug,’ Mr. Nixon said: “Orchids are a peculiar type of plant that captivate your imagination, because the flowers are just astonishing. “When you consider the size of the plant compared to the amount of flowers that you get from it: a little plant of ten ounces has a huge flower-spike on it and they last for months, so they’ve become very popular, and are affordable, too. “What made orchids so mysterious before was the cost, but now they are a supermarket item. “I have a lot of different varieties - but I have mostly the warm growing kind. We are lucky in that
we have a climate that is adaptable for a wide variety of orchids. “There’s some 35,000 different species of orchid, and when you consider that they can all breed with one another, imagine - it just boggles the mind,” he said. “Its hard to explain the fascination. A friend of mine claims that orchids are smarter than we are because what they’ve done is they’ve posed themselves in such a way that human beings have become addicted to them. We nurture them, and propagate them so they will continue to thrive. They definitely have some kind of affinity with human beings - it’s hard to explain, but there’s a connection. “I don’t know how to describe the fragrances, they are so divine, they’re just beautiful, you know? And the colours - they’re just unbelievable.”

RCIPS insist investigation is for a “missing person” “No suggestion of any criminal activity” Tad Stoner tad.stoner@ieyenews.com
Continued from front page “This is a missing-persons investigation,” Mr Bodden said. “There has been no suggestion of any criminal activity taking place.” Police, he said, had established a situation room at West Bay Police Station and a command post at Public Beach, near Calico Jack’s at Sea Grape Beach, where Mr Clarke was last seen on Saturday night at 8:30, wearing beige swim shorts with no shirt. ”The canine unit is assisting the search to track any leads and Mosquito Control assets are flying aircraft to search and suggest where Mr Clarke could be, the Detective Superintendent said, referring to the low-flying twin-engine airplanes operated by government’s Mosquito Control and Research Unit. The RCIPS helicopter, he said was “unfortunately, off-island on a prescheduled maintenance call.” Ms Beck, 32, said she and Mr Clarke and a group of friends had been having drinks at Calico Jack’s, “enjoying the evening and the sunset” on Saturday evening at the Public Beach bar when her fiance vanished. “It was still quite quiet at the time,” about 8:30pm, she said yesterday, “and Nathan walked

toward the water. We continued socialising. A few people were scattered around the benches and in the back, enjoying drinks. It was less than five minutes after I last saw him in the lit area. “We didn’t have a final plan, at that point,” Ms Beck continued. “I said I wanted to go home, but others wanted to have a drink, but I thought we might walk home. No one was around Nathan, not that I saw him talking to. “I called him about 10 minutes past 9:00 because I thought he was nearby, and it went right to his answering machine,” she said. Earlier, she told TV 27 that the

And then from that minute on he was nowhere to be seen. He was there and then he was gone. He just disappeared. We just don’t know what could have happened.” The two had been together eight years, she said, “and we just loved each other’s company. He was a water-sports instructor and worked with children and youth. He was very gifted at wind surfing and sailing. “We decided we wanted to travel, so we moved here and Nathan worked at Resort Sports on the beach. He enjoyed it, but missed educating kids, so over the summer we made a decision and he moved toward something more of a career.” He found a job at “Little Prep”, the junior division of Cayman Prep and High School, and attended UCCI part time. “We had a few drinks that evening. He was having a great time and had just been on holiday and some friends were over on holiday and we were all just enjoying ourselves.” Father Philip Beck said he had had “known Nathan a long time and he was liked by many people. He was a very easy-going character and
the number of people [involved in the search] is a reflection of that “We will be staying to support Lisa, as long as possible.” Mr Clarke’s parents, Cheltenham’s Lizzie and Randell Clarke, live in France, and are scheduled to arrive in George Town at the weekend. “My husband and I are very distressed,” Mrs Clarke told the local Gloucestershire Echo. “We spoke with the governor of the island and to the police with whom we have every confidence. Our heartfelt thanks go to the islanders who are endlessly searching for our son leaving no stone unturned. “Nathan is a much loved son not just by his family but by the parents and pupils of the school where he teaches, the islanders and all who meet him. We can only hope and pray that he is found safe and sound,” she said. Friends have launched a Facebook campaign in an attempt to raise funds to charter a helicopter to step up the search operation. More than 1,000 people have signed up, raising more than $6,616. Abby Beck, Lisa’s sister, told the newspaper: “It is a very tough time for the family. Everyone is trying to stay positive but it becomes harder the longer the search goes on without finding him.”

UCCI’s nursing programme
Tad Stoner
tad.stoner@ieyenews.com
The University College will launch a nursing programme in September, aligning its training efforts in partnership with Dr Devi Shetty’s Narayana medical college. Planners continue to discuss details of the project, set to start in the autumn with 100 students, ultimately leading to licencing of nurses who can work at the Shetty hospital or, according to UCCI President Roy Bodden, anywhere in the world. “It is correct that UCCI has been approached [by Dr Shetty], although I’m not at liberty just now to discuss the details,” Mr Bodden said. “We are still doing investigations. I’ve just heard from Dr Shetty about the arrangements: a modest facility with 100 students, and he has expressed interest in this academic year, the coming September. “We are already well advanced in planning our UCCI nursing programme, trying to start this
September,” he said, “and are working with the Health Services Authority, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education. It will be a four-year programme, licencing practical nursing. We will give degrees.” On a January tour of George Town, Dr Shetty announced the August groundbreaking for the initial 140-bed phase of his proposed $2 billion, 15-year tertiary hospital project on 200 acres in East End. When complete, the project will encompass a 2,000-bed hospital, after-care and research-anddevelopment facilities, targeting medical tourists from the Caribbean and both South and North America, and will include a medical college, training doctors, nurses and technicians. The Narayana college will not be ready, however, until a later date, although training would begin, Dr Shetty said, “by the end of the year”, in cooperation with “a local institution”, which he declined

to name. Mr Bodden told iNews Cayman the UCCI programme would be part of the inaugural phase of Dr Shetty’s medical school, helping boost the university college’s own nascent training efforts. Traditionally, local nursing students were often forced to train in the US, often enduring a difficult licencing process by an independent panel, Mr Bodden said. Under the new programme, however, nurses will train at UCCI, “and get their licences UCCI President Roy Bodden here, as a sort of a oneclinical sciences, while UCCI would stop shop.” He was also seeking advice concentrate on nursing. Final arrangements were still from the Pan American Health Organisation about the University pending, however. “These are things that we are College programme, and differentiated it from Dr Shetty’s working out now,” he added, negotiating use of classrooms and medical college. “They are two different things,” other facilities. “We are investigating he said. Narayana will ultimately draft MOUs and contracts and an train doctors in medical and infinite set of details. “This will be a partnership and kind of business relationship,” pointing toward a greater future of cooperation and collaboration with other local schools, including Savannah’s ICCI. “We are looking for an understanding and association, creating an institution of scale,” he said. We need cooperation and collaboration otherwise we will get gobbled up,” he said. ICCI, for example, “do some very good things and have a different emphasis than we have. We do other things. But we are all diverse, so there is no reason not to complement each other.”

Before the film began, Shari Wilson who studied film at Loyola University, gave a brief introduction to Mr. Polanski and his movies: “Roman Polanski was born in Paris in 1933. He is a Polish film director, producer and writer and actor. He is regarded as one of the few truly international film makers, having made films all over the world: France, Germany,

He survived the war by wandering the Polish countryside from the age of seven onward, pretending to be a Roman Catholic visiting his relatives. This lifestyle forced him to live like a tramp, hiding out and foraging for food, being mistreated and encountering Nazi forces. But,

throughout all of this, he developed a cultural mindset, and while others were deterred from going to the theatres because of the German propaganda, Roman Polanski saw beyond that, and went to the theatres anyway and developed his love for film,” Ms Wilson said. “The film that we are going to see tonight was done in 1962 and in 1963 was nominated for an Oscar for best foreign-language film. “It is his debut; and it’s the first Polish post-war film not associated with the war theme. The effect
of the camera work is always cinematic rather than theatrical. Roman Polanski, if you notice throughout the series, deals with a lot of very small, tight spaces; that is one of his fortés as a film maker,” Ms Wilson continued. “Knife in the water is about a wealthy, unhappily married couple who decide to take a mysterious hitchhiker with them on a weekend boating excursion, and it’s regarded as rather dark and unsettling so as we watch the film perhaps you will get that feeling also.”

shorts). The classic halter-top is still very popular although the ‘Bandini’ is the biggest seller with almost every swimwear label producing its own take on it. For the ties that bind, sashes, rather than spaghetti strings, are the current fashion.

The bikini was invented by Louis Reard and Jacques Heim, in Paris in 1946. However, due to its skimpiness, hardly anyone had the courage to wear a bikini until the late 1950s, when actress Brigitte Bardot created a splash by wearing a bikini in the film, “And God Created Woman.” The bikini revolution subsequently became a rage, and even got its own song: “Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini.” Coming back to the present, bikinis have become modest in character.

Storms damage country music resort town, kill 13 BRANSON, Mo. (AP) -- A powerful storm system that produced multiple reports of tornadoes lashed the Midwest early Wednesday, roughing up the country music resort city of Branson and laying waste to small towns in Illinois and Kansas. At least 13 people were killed. An apparent twister rolled through Branson just before 1 a.m. and seemed to hopscotch up the city’s main roadway, ripping roofs off hotels and damaging some of the city’s famed music theaters dangerously close to the start of the heavy tourism season. More than 30 people were reported hurt, mostly with cuts and bruises. “If it was a week later, it’d be a different story,” said Bill Tirone, assistant general manager for the 530-room Hiltons of Branson and the Branson Convention Center, where windows were shattered and some rooms had furniture sucked
away by high winds. Hotel workers were able to get all guests to safety as the storm raged. John Moore, owner of the damaged Cakes-n-Creams `50s Diner, said the tornado seemed to target the city’s main strip, moving down the entertainment district, right through the convention center, across a lake and into a housing division. He said the tornado appeared to “jump side to side.” “The theater next to me kind of exploded. It went everywhere. The hotels on the two sides of me lost their roofs. Power lines are down. Windows are blown out,” Moore said. “There’s major, major destruction. There has to be millions dollars of damage all down the strip.” At least 10 people were killed in the southern Illinois town of Harrisburg after a storm leveled much of the community of
9,000 people. In Missouri, one person was killed in a trailer park in the town of Buffalo, and at least three people were critically injured in the small eastern Kansas town of Harveyville. The tornadoes were spawned by a powerful storm system that blew down from the Rockies on Tuesday and was headed across the Ohio and Tennessee river valleys toward the Mid-Atlantic region. Corey Mead, lead forecaster at
the U.S. Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., said a broad cold front was slamming into warm, humid air over much of the eastern half of the nation. From Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, at least 16 tornado sightings were reported from Nebraska and Kansas across southern Missouri to Illinois and Kentucky, according to the storm center, an arm of the National Weather Service.
Official: Doctor had recruiters in Medicare scheme DALLAS (AP) -- Years after Jacques Roy started filing paperwork that would have made his practice the busiest Medicare provider in the U.S., authorities say they’ve found most of his work was a lie. They accused Roy on Tuesday of “selling his signature” to collect Medicare and Medicaid payments for work that was never done or wasn’t necessary. Others charged in the scheme are accused of fraudulently signing up patients or offering them cash, free groceries or food stamps to give their names
and a number used to bill Medicare. Authorities say Roy’s practice certified 11,000 Medicare beneficiaries through more than 500 home health providers over five years. More than 75 of those agencies have had their Medicare payments suspended. Roy, 41, a doctor who owned Medistat Group Associates in DeSoto, Texas, faces up to 100 years in prison if he’s convicted of several counts of health care fraud and conspiracy to commit health care fraud. Six others, including the owners of three home health
service agencies, are also charged. Roy’s attorney, Patrick McLain, said he had yet to review much of the evidence but Roy maintained his innocence. Health care fraud is estimated to cost the government at least $60 billion a year, mainly in losses to Medicare and Medicaid. Officials say the fraud involves everything from sophisticated marketing schemes by major
pharmaceuticals encouraging doctors to prescribe drugs for unauthorized uses to selling motorized wheelchairs to people who don’t need them.

New Chief Petroleum Inspector Duke Mortimer Matthew Munroe is new the Chief Petroleum Inspector for the Cayman Islands. Mr. Munroe served as Regional (functional) Manager for Chevron in the Caribbean for nearly a decade, which sparked his interest in the Petroleum Inspectorate (PI) with the Cayman Islands Government. He said that he applied for the position so that he could make a positive contribution to the department, the country and the petroleum industry. “Having interacted with the PI in my previous role, I was very impressed with the functioning of the department and its mandate as required by law. It was the most structured, well-defined and organized regulatory body to which the major petroleum companies were subjected, in all of the territories I managed under Chevron,” Mr. Munroe said. Alan Jones, Chief Officer for the Ministry of District Administration, Works, Lands and Agriculture, welcome Mr. Munroe to the team. “Duke has a strong academic and engineering background and I look forward to his contribution to the office,” Mr. Jones said. During his tenure with Chevron, Mr. Munroe was exposed to many facets of the company, including

finance, accounting, legal, logistics and supply chain management, procurement and administration. Over almost 10 years in the petroleum industry, one of his key roles was safety, health and environmental stewardship. “While these areas are critical to everyone in the petroleum industry, my role was more active in driving compliance in these areas. This involved complying with standards across the industry and its governing bodies. Further, my responsibility at Chevron covered 15 countries in the Caribbean and South America, including the Cayman Islands. Essentially, in my latter years I managed the company’s assets (retail, industrial properties and facilities) in these territories,” Mr. Munroe stated. A native of Guyana, Mr. Munroe, having completed a B.Eng. and an MBA began his career in 1999 as lecturer at the University of Guyana. He subsequently transitioned to lecturing at the Government Technical Institute/ College and has since lectured in the areas of Engineering, Mathematics and Public Management at both these institutions. He later shifted gear in his career by moving to the sugar industry where he worked as an Engineer/Manager at one of the
sugar factories. In 2002, Mr. Munroe joined Chevron (which had just acquired Texaco in the Caribbean) and started his career in the petroleum industry. He explained that at first he was hesitant, because he thought working with a petroleum company was mainly marketing and public relations. But to his surprise he found it to be an “industry of perfection.” “Working in one of world’s largest industry with elevated potential for major hazards, an eye for detail backed by formal processes of scrutiny and oversight are important. You need to respect even the smallest amount of risk and evaluate that risk constantly. “I look forward to the next few years in the role as Chief Petroleum Inspector and hope to build on the accomplishments of my predecessor and the current team in the department. The activities currently carried out by the department are indicative that the Inspectorate is evolving”. Mr. Munroe said. The role of Petroleum Inspectorate The Petroleum Inspectorate (PI) was established in 2003 to ensure that sound industry codes of practice were adopted. It was also charged with ensuring that safety
and environmental management systems are effectively developed and implemented and ensuring that proper emergency planning and coordination are carried out. Additionally, the role of Petroleum Inspectorate is to assess whether the petroleum and compressed gas industries are adequately managing their obligations to safeguard health, safety and the environment by regularly conducting inspections of the facilities such as the bulk storage terminals, service stations, marinas, utility companies, Liquefied Propane Gas (LPG) facilities, compressed air facilities, industrial and wholesale tanks and vehicles transporting petroleum.
enduring Celtic jewelry tradition. They are steeped in history and tradition dating back centuries. Their intricate designs or ribbon and other interweave patterns throughout the metalwork denote a couple’s promise to create a new life together with the one never-ending, continuous circle signifying eternal and endless love. Celtic band designs are derived from Irish manuscripts such as the Book of Kells. In the past, the wearing of Celtic jewelry was an outward sign of a person’s wealth and status. This resulted in many Celtic rings being passed
on from one generation to another becoming treasured family heirlooms. Wouldn’t you like to live like that today? To live out the Celtic message that speaks of a better way of life, a better world, attracting us with its beauty. When you pick up a Celtic ring hold it in your hand, look at it intently and let yourself be drawn in. Let your feelings guide you. Observe how no creature is isolated. Every one is intimately connected to the others in great harmony, and balance, becoming part of the organic whole; yet, without losing its individuality.

The Editor speaks
Big Brother is watching you. No one should be trusted.
Colin Wilson colin.wilson@ieyenews.com
Everyone is spying on you, especially governments. Most people are familiar with George Orwell’s prophetic novel “Nineteen Eighty Four” where the fictional character Big Brother was the enigmatic dictator of Oceania. This was a totalitarian state where everyone was under complete surveillance by the authorities by television monitors. Amazingly the book was published in 1949 so Orwell probably wrote it in 1947 as the first manuscript was sent to the publishers early 1948. As we know cameras are installed everywhere, even invading our privacy as we go about our business in the Cayman Islands. Every public building has them barring the bathrooms but even there we are monitored when we go in and when we leave. Some of us even install cameras in our homes watching
iLocal
every blade of grass that moves. Watching our employees go about their work. We were sent minutes the other day by the Deputy Governor Franz Manderson who has put in place transparency in the administrative arm of government allowing us, the public, insight into the workings of the public sector. According to these minutes concerning a senior civil service meeting, an access system has been installed at the new Government Office Accommodation Building in Elgin Avenue, George Town. This system has the capabilities to record the attendance of employees who work in the building and their movements throughout the entire office block. Rich Sanfilippo, the facilities manager in the ministry responsible for the government’s new headquarters, said the system records the time employees arrive and leave as well as where they are
going during the working day. This system can also provide a detailed report of all employees movements throughout the entire building during a given timeframe, which can be synchronised with video footage. An appointing officer, however, would only be sent these reports, on request. So where has our trust gone? Are we all untrustworthy? In the USA we are ALL potential terrorists. Who said, “When trust is gone, love is weakened or dead. Where there is fear, there is no love”? Will husbands have cameras trained on their wives and vice-versa? So, if we have to resort to watching our employees 24 hours of the day that has to mean we don’t trust them? When security cameras have to be installed in a Bank watching our every movement as we retrieve our own money that we have allowed them to do with, as they will, it
means they don’t trust us. Shouldn’t we, then, have access to cameras so we can actually watch what they are doing with our money? It’s ours after all. Surely it should be a two way street? It was the banks, after all, that caused the worldwide recession and misery we are all in now. So, are they to be trusted? They don’t trust us and we LET THEM HAVE OUR MONEY! If this should become reality and we all watch each other just look at all the extra jobs it would create? Why we would be out of this recession in a second. And we could reward ourselves with huge bonuses every time we trap someone from our surveillance. We could spy on the police and why not? We pay their salaries! And don’t forget our politicians. I’m sure they are worth watching! Let’s watch everyone. Wouldn’t you like to know what YOU are doing?
The migrants, who originated in Manzanillo, Cuba, were informed by local authorities of the Cayman Islands’ immigration policies. They all appeared to be in good health. The migrants requested, and were allowed, to perform minor
repairs to their craft. They departed about 11:15 that night, destined for Honduras. They were monitored by Immigration Officers, and were last seen about 2:00 a.m. off the west end of Cayman Brac, travelling south-west.

More Cubans Pass By Department of Immigration officials confirm that another boat containing 22 Cuban adult migrants – 20 males and two females – was intercepted
off Cayman Brac on Sunday night, 26 February. The vessel was spotted off Spot Bay around 6:50 p.m. Sunday evening.
RC Cayman Holdings attempts to take control of The Ritz According to Miami based OffshoreAlert published last Tues (28), RC Cayman Holdings who own the $250 million loan to build The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman, is attempting to take control of the
development. This includes the hotel, residences, spa, restaurants and golf course. RC Cayman Holdings LLC, which acquired the loan in May 2011, filed a civil suit at the Grand Court of the
Cayman Islands earlier this month seeking an injunction against a number of defendants, including Ritz developer Michael Ryan, to prevent them from “interfering with” RC Cayman’s attempts to
take control of the development. Offshore Alert reports that Michael Ryan said he did not believe there would be any effect on the normal operations of the resort as a result of the writ.

Camana Bay welcomes Poof the Blue Dragon Camana Bay recently welcomed a friendly new face to its Town Centre – Poof the Blue Dragon, who has found a sunny, sandy home on The Island in The Harbour where he welcomes visitors and loves to pose for photos. Poof is one of fifteen larger than life sculptures inspired by the impressive form of the Blue Iguana (Cyclura lewisi). Created by the National Gallery and National Trust of the Cayman Islands, the Blue Dragon Trail is an outdoor exhibit that mixes the arts and the environment in an effort to raise awareness for this endemic species. Fifteen local artists were commissioned to paint the sculptures in colours and themes limited only by their own imaginations. In 2004, they were “released” throughout Grand Cayman to become a bright and permanent reminder of an ancient treasure of Cayman’s natural heritage. Poof the Blue Dragon was originally located on the Cayman International School campus at the south end of the Camana Bay property. He sustained some damage during Hurricane
Ivan in September 2004—as did many of the other sculptures—and was returned to the National Gallery for repairs and a fresh coat of paint. “Poof is the first of the Blue Dragons to be fully restored and we are delighted that he has found such a wonderful permanent home on The Island at Camana Bay,” says National Gallery Director, Natalie Urquhart. “We look forward to launching a revised trail map in the near future so that visitors and residents alike can visit Poof and his cousins and learn more about the plight of our endangered Blue Iguana.” Karie Bounds, Camana Bay Cultural Programme Coordinator, is excited to have the sculpture as a new cultural attraction in the Camana Bay Town Centre. “We are always looking for interesting ways to incorporate different aspects of Caymanian culture into the Camana Bay experience. Not only does the Blue Dragon Trail showcase the depth of talent within the local art community, but it also sheds light on the severity of the Blue Iguana’s situation. Camana Bay is pleased to be a part of this truly
unique exhibit and will continue to support the cultural initiatives of both the National Gallery and the National Trust.” Poof was painted by local artist Wray Banker. When designing and naming the sculpture Wray was inspired by the dangers that the Blue Iguana faces. “Poof is a play on extinction. The authentic life preserver and animated words such as ‘bark’ and ‘meow’ all point out the different ways that the species is threatened. Areas of green comment on the problems raised by the invasive Green Iguana that is rapidly replacing the indigenous Blue and giving the false impression that Cayman’s iguanas are flourishing.” True to the spirit of community giving that is shared by the entire Camana Bay family, Poof was sponsored by Leslie Bergstrom, owner of The Cabana at Camana Bay. With three children of her own, Leslie believes the Blue Dragon Trail will inspire young people to get involved in Cayman’s conservation movement. “These whimsical sculptures spark immediate interest and are a wonderful way to introduce the
Blue Iguana to children who are naturally fascinated by this majestic creature and always eager to help. It is essential that we communicate the importance of conservation to our children from an early age.” The Blue Iguana is a giant, dragon-like blue lizard which grows to over 5 feet long and can live as long as humans. Originally a denizen of Grand Cayman’s coastal areas and interior dry shrub lands, this magnificent reptile was driven to the brink of extinction, with only a dozen surviving from the original wild population by 2002. The main causes of this catastrophic decline range from habitat destruction and road kills, to deaths caused by freeroaming dogs and feral cats. Although these human-caused pressures have led to the Grand Cayman Blue Iguana being the most endangered iguana on earth, the Blue Iguana Recovery Programme is making remarkable strides, creating great hope for the future of the Blue Iguana and its extraordinary wild habitat.

Letter to the Editor In response to an article I read in another news media I’d like to share my thoughts with the people of the Cayman Islands. As some amongst us seem to push for self determination; I think more importantly we need to acknowledge the truths that reflect what is really happening in the present, and also revisit what took place in the past to some of our Caribbean neighbors, there is a hard lesson to be learned. The facts are that Jamaica once a Caribbean pearl herself, has been destroyed socially and economically because of them breaking away from the UK, which was spearheaded by crooked capitalists some of which have migrated to the Cayman Islands and are now advising our politicians on how to destroy Cayman by adapting the
iCommunity
same corrupt party politics that was the downfall of our neighboring Jamaica. Jamaica, Cuba and Haiti were once richer, and even more successful economically than the Cayman Islands. But power hungry, and money hungry politicians talked the people into independence making promises to them of peace and prosperity with no intention to deliver. Independence costs billions of dollars, you have to pay your way out of independence, this is not simple nor a free lunch, it is very very costly and none of these countries have been able to pay the tab. These countries struggle to pay the tab causing economic and social mayhem internally. Secondly, Cayman does not need to test the Independence waters to
understand the awful consequences of what our own plight might be. Jamaica,Cuba and Haiti is the only model that the people of any Caribbean country needs to look at as these three countries are an inferno of witnesses to what would be awaiting the people of the Cayman Islands should we stupidly embrace Independence from our mother country, Great Britain. We are already experiencing joblessness, crime escalating among our youth, hopelessness, pain and suffering from homegrown dictators that is causing an uproar and has triggered a 21st century revolution in the Cayman Islands. Our government has not created an environment that creates jobs nor put people back to work; but instead they have separated Caymanians
from gainful employment and their dignity. Where would we be should we hand all power over to this kind of leadership by placing independence into their hands? The end result would match or supercede what has already happened in Haiti, Jamaica and Cuba. The answer is the majority of people in the Cayman Islands opposing them could be killed or imprisoned for opposing that kind of leadership. This is not stereotyping it is the true facts. The Cayman Islands must stay away from independence and stay under the UK. Dr. Florence Goring-Nozza, D.Div Former CoChairman Cayman Concerned Citizens.

“I can’t stop talking”
So how do you stop excessive talking? Georgina Wilcox georgina.wilcox@ieyenews.com
Do you know a programme to help people who can’t stop talking? I do, its called, “On and on anon.” Yes, that is a joke, although excessive talking is not funny because it is never accepted socially. Our social norms dictate that we should be polite and attentive to others, speak only when spoken to and are brief and concise when we are putting forth a point. However, while these are the societal norms, some people are not able to follow these inadvertently. Yes, incessant talking is a common addiction called Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). It is more common in children (810% in their school going age are affected) but it is now increasing in adults and it is to this latter group this article is aimed. Non-stop talking is about using others for attention and approval because of not giving oneself enough attention and approval. The talker is not actually offering anything to the listener. Instead, the talker, in going on and on with a monologue, is pulling energy from the listener. People who end up listening to a talker go on and on are often
caretakers who are afraid to hurt the talker by disengaging or by telling the truth about their boredom. Talkers are often needy people who attempt to assuage their emptiness by trapping people into listening to them. For example, I saw a woman the other day in Cayman National Bank telling a teller her life story, while the trapped teller didn’t know how to disengage without being impolite. The problem is that one of the reasons these people are without friends is that no one wants to be with them. Its draining to be at the other end of a needy person who uses talking as a way to fill up. If you can’t stop talking, perhaps you believe that you are being interesting when you go on and on about yourself. However, you might reconsider the truth of this belief if you find that many people avoid you. Most people will not tell you the truth that they feel tired, drained and trapped in your presence, and bored by your talking. Not wanting to offend you, they just stay away rather speak their truth. They don’t answer the phone when they know it’s you, and they find any excuse to not spend time with your company. It’s not that they don’t like you: it’s because they don’t want to be used
to blog visit www.ieyenews.com
by you to fill up your emptiness. Can too much excessive talking undermine your health? Normal people, as one Western study found, breathe twice as much air when they speak. That reduces their brain CO2 and O2 stores. Excessive talking can thereby lead to dizziness, lightheadedness, loss of concentration, emotional instability, muscular tension, abnormal posture and other negative effects. Furthermore, even 10-20 minutes of continuous speaking resets the breathing centre to lower arterial and brain CO2 levels promoting hyperventilation, tissue hypoxia and chronic diseases. So how do you stop excessive talking? • One should always have something important to contribute. Whatever you say should have an impact on others. They should want to listen to you. Conversation should be interesting. • Try to allow the other person to say something. It may be difficult, but one needs to practice self-control. A good conversation is a two-way process. All of those taking part in the conversation have much to contribute. Each person must get a chance to say something. • One must seek professional help if excessive talking is a compulsive
behaviour. Often people speak due to some psychological disorder or problem. A person with a nervous disposition will speak more. • One should avoid being pushy or aggressive while conversing. • One need not express everything on one’s mind. Certain things you must keep to yourself. • Think before you speak. It may be difficult if you are nervous. But it is better to be aware of what your saying. You need not regret later. • One can take up courses in being a good conversationalist. In today’s modern world it has become essential. • Try not interrupting another person’s conversation as far as possible • Do not talk for the sake of talking. Restraint is good • Be more conscious of your behaviour patterns. Acknowledge that you speak too much and accordingly behave. • Appreciate what others have to say. Listening to other person’s viewpoint allows you to permit him or her to express an opinion Be a good listener. People like to be listened to. • Try to convey things in fewer words. Be brief in what you say. If none of the above works do not be afraid to consult your doctor.

A matter of spirituality
Georgina Wilcox georgina.wilcox@ieyenews.com
Being a writer on a newspaper that is available on the Internet I get a lot of emails from people all over the world. I received this from a man who wished to remain anonymous but asked me if our Editor-in Chief would consider publishing it in iNews Cayman and the answer was “yes”. We were both moved and felt it could benefit many a reader. Here is his story: When I was much younger, I thought that education would be the answer to all my problems, so I went about obtaining degrees. I collected a good number of them including a summa cum laude degree in chemistry and mathematics, and an MBA among others. But I found that my education, even though it helped tremendously, did not bring real satisfaction. So I put the certificates and diplomas in the bathroom under glass and wrote, “Break in Case of Emergency.” Then I started working for Fortune 500 companies and became intrigued with those who frequented the boardrooms of power and fame. And though a part of me was fascinated, thrilled and even enjoyed the trappings of power, there was something that was missing, which I couldn’t put my finger on. My heart and spirit were crying out for something that I couldn’t find in major corporations.
18
Still searching for the “Holy Grail” I became an entrepreneur and built a very successful, multi-national business with offices in the United States, the Caribbean, Africa, India and the United Kingdom. Life seemed good. I traveled the world, wined and dined with leaders of industry and even leaders of countries. I was treated as a prince, but still it all felt empty and useless. Wherever I sought for peace and prosperity and happiness, I’d find prosperity without the peace or I’d discover abundance without the happiness. Finally, one day, as I sat on my wife’s deathbed (she was only in her thirties when she
died), it became clear to me that my happiness, peace and prosperity were not dependent on anything external, but on that which was within me, that which had always been with me from my very first day on Earth. So I started to look within me and discovered a wonderland beyond imagination. I realised that the one spiritual practice more important than all the others that could bring me peace, happiness and prosperity was the practice of going into the “silence” deep within me. Some call it meditation or prayer, others refer to it as contemplation or centering oneself. I do not know what it should be called, but I think of it as the “silence”. In the great silence within, I become renewed, refreshed and excited to face the physical world. When I return from my moments of silence or meditation, I feel great waves of joy. I feel peaceful, secure and safe. Perhaps in the depths of my being, there is a place of beautiful silence where I meet my Creator and where I find renewal of body, mind and spirit. Perhaps true success and peace emanate from this silent sanctuary. Many years ago, I wrote the
following: “Whenever problems seem to get the best of me, whenever I feel them closing in on me, I go to a quiet place that lies somewhere in my soul. I do not reason, analyse or think. Those will come later. I simply go. From this place of silence, I garner strength and inspiration to stand firm in the face of fire, to be calm in the midst of thunder. When I emerge, the world has not changed, but I have. And in changing, a whole new world is born.” I find that is as true today as when I first wrote it or thought it. Success, whichever way we define it, whether by money standards, health or happiness standards, is not a game of chance. It springs from deep within us, from our deepest thoughts and beliefs. It has to do with our fears and hopes and it flows eternally from our spiritual center of gravity. Go into the silence within you. Try to do so a number of times each day. Let your true self speak to you. Listen to the “still, small voice”, which is always there. You will find calm, peace and prosperity unknown in ordinary times. You’ll find a new and joyous path opening ahead of you and you’ll be delighted in the glorious adventures that await around the corner. to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

London Olympic strike threat sharp austerity cuts. The union says it represents 200,000 public sector workers. He was quoted as telling The Guardian newspaper that the July 27-Aug. 12 London Olympics are a justified target for those opposing spending cuts and job losses. “It is completely unacceptable and unpatriotic what he is proposing,” Cameron’s spokesman Steve Field told reporters. “Most people in this country, including members of that union, think the Olympics is a great occasion for the country and wouldn’t want to see anything happen that would disrupt it in any way.” Both Cameron and Ed Miliband, head of Britain’s main opposition Labour Party — which receives significant financial backing from Unite — condemned the threat of industrial action. “Any threat to the Olympics
LONDON (AP) — A threat by Britain’s largest labour union to disrupt the London Olympics with strikes is “unacceptable and unpatriotic,” Prime Minister David Cameron’s office said Wednesday.

London Olympics work deserves more recognition The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) have called for more recognition and praise to recognise what a good job the UK construction industry has done on the facilities for the 2012 Olympic Games in London. The CIOB have described the Olympics as one of “the UK’s most important and iconic regeneration developments of the 21st Century”, with CIOB Chief Executive Chris Blythe saying: “The closest praise so far have been back-handed compliments that ‘at least it’s not another Wembley’, with only the architecture drawing any sort of recognition. Yet it’s the people of UK construction who have turned those five-ringed dreams into reality. The UK should be proud of its construction industry for creating a landmark development on time, on budget, and with an excellent
health and safety record in tough economic times and with a barrage of complexity. The bigger picture at play here is that whilst UK construction is quietly, frustratingly so, delivering an eye-popping regeneration project it is setting new standards along the way. The truth is the Olympics are just a small part of what the construction industry delivers every day. The professional expertise within our industry is exported all over the world and it still leads the way.” The Olympic Games in London has definitely had a big impact on the UK construction industry and created thousands of jobs at a time when the industry was struggling from the recession. 98% of the facilities for the Games have been built by British companies. That is almost £6bn worth of business, or 1,400 contracts, that have been directly awarded to UK

companies as well as thousands more businesses further down the supply chain. Altogether an estimated 75,000 firms have won work related to the 2012 Olympics. Following on from the work on the Olympics, the CIOB believe UK contractors can have an impact abroad, with CIOB chief Chris Blythe saying:
“So while we naturally focus on London 2012 lets not forget the myriad of projects up and down the country and across the world that are delivered to world class standards. Brazil 2016 will have a hard act to follow, but it will be made easier because no doubt UK construction will be involved there too.”

Cayman contractors collaborate to assist UCCI When the call went out from The Rotary Club of Grand Cayman to the contracting community that UCCI was going to significantly enhance its science programme through the development of a new observatory and teaching facility, it was a community project with an undeniable appeal for The Phoenix Group, selected as the project’s General Contractor. Leading an enthusiastic subcontractor team which included KM Limited, Electratech, National Concrete, Ghezzi Mechanical, Garrison Industries, Andro Group, Door Tek, and the A. L. Thompson’s Truss Plant, Phoenix broke ground on the project in early September of last year. They were proud to be in attendance alongside their building partners at the Grand Opening on Tuesday, February 21st. The building experience was

a distinctly positive one for the Observatory and for Dr. William Hrudey, the telescope’s designerbuilder after whom the facility is named. “As my father was an architect and I have an extensive building background, I take great interest in construction processes and particularly the people involved on a day to day basis. I enjoyed working with the Phoenix team immensely, particularly Ray Boyce, Ritchie Graham and Jonathan Correia, with whom I spend a great deal of time over the course of the buildout. It was fun – I will miss the guys being around” he said of the experience. “There is something of value to be learned everyday just from being around Dr. Hrudey – it was a super experience” echoed Jonathan Correia of Phoenix. “I want to express appreciation on behalf of UCCI for the
professional job that Phoenix and other contractors have done and for the excellence in craftsmanship displayed. I’m sure that the project will meet the expectations of all

Astronomy and space
Georgina Wilcox georgina.wilcox@ieyenews.com
Astronomy and space is all about lust for learning. It is not only one of humanity’s oldest sciences but is one of the earliest sciences that humanity has ever pursued. So the study of our universe is not new but you should remember that astronomy is a science. It is a science for the masses and is a field about which most of the world knows very little. Astronomy is really an outdoor nature hobby. Astronomy is also a place where international boundaries blur. It is as pure a science as one can find as it studies the Universe and what is in it. It is also an observational science that requires observations and precise calculations, particularly of positions of celestial objects. Astronomy is truly bigger than all of us. Most of modern astronomical

research involves a substantial amount of physics and can be considered astrophysics. What is the basic difference between Astrophysics and Astronomy? How stars form is one of the central unknowns of astrophysics. Astronomy is more a matter of making observations. The telescope is undoubtedly a very important investigative tool in astronomy. Did you know that Galileo was the first human to use a telescope for astronomy? Purchasing a telescope is something that most people who get interested in astronomy need to do. If you want to buy you a telescope, but it all looks confusing to you, be sure to do some analysis. Because buying a telescope, like purchasing a automobile or stereo equipment, is subject to your tastes as a buyer. But your choice of a telescope is critical as the telescope is focused on space and astronomy
access for all of us. Telescope parts and accessories can be a very useful addition to your astronomy experience. If you’re just starting out, look for a quality, affordable telescope for beginning astronomy students and casual observers. You might even ask friends if any of them have a telescope for sale. But the aim is to take advantage of the latest developments in telescope technology to make the next giant leap forward in observing. Many people use the telescope regularly for star parties, astronomy workshops, and casual observing. Public curiosity in astronomy is unlimited. Astronomy is our tool for unlocking the knowledge of the heavens. Yes, it may be a science, but it also is an outdoor nature hobby. Astronomy is a wonderful field of science for the family to study. It is all about curiosity, and fulfilling that curiosity. to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

Pete Ribbins Memorial Consolidated Water Meet
CAYMAN INSURANCE CENTRE LTD.
WINSTON PAMPHILE
The upcoming Pete Ribbins Memorial Consolidated Water Meet, hosted at the Lions Aquatic Centre by the Stingray Swim Club from 29 February to 4 March will see eligible swimmers between the ages of 11-17 years old focussing on making qualifying times for the Cayman Islands 2012 CARIFTA Swim Team. This meet takes place over four days, offers an array of events from the traditional sprints to the longer 400m, 200m and 100m events and is the final meet in which qualifying CARIFTA times can be attained. In the week following the conclusion of the meet, the Cayman Islands Junior Swim Team will be selected and final training for CARIFTA – which takes place in the Bahamas from April 12-15th 2012 – will begin. Gregory S. McTaggart, VP (Cayman) Operations offered the following – a poignant tribute to a colleague and an athlete who understood that swimming could make a meaningful difference to Cayman’s youth, “Consolidated Water’s commitment to swimming
21
in the Cayman Islands was started many years ago by the late Pete Ribbins, himself a former Ironman triathlete. Pete understood the value of physical activities, participation in organised sports and competition to the proper development of young people -- these things helping to instil the principles of dedication, perseverance, fair play and accomplishment. It seemed natural for a water company to champion swimming and Consolidated Water is proud to continue Pete’s legacy in supporting the Stingray Swim Club and its mission to help develop young bodies and minds into outstanding young people.” Stingray Swim Club is proud to continue Pete Ribbins’ legacy of sporting achievements and is grateful, once again, to Consolidated Water for their sponsorship of the meet. “This four day meet provides swimmers with the opportunity to test themselves in the longer distance events which are not part of the faster sprint meets. For the younger swimmers it can be a
daunting but challenging experience to embark on a 100m race for the first time; and for the senior swimmers it is the opportunity to turn months and sometimes years of training in to the fulfilment of a dream: to reach a standard worthy of gaining entry into CARIFTA, the Caribbean region’s most prestigious swimming competition,” said Brenda McGrath, President of Stingray Swim Club. A great turn out is expected with 140+ swimmers from Stingray Swim Club (SSC), Camana Bay Aquatic Club (CBAC) and TI Team (AAP Coaching) signed up. Members of the public who have never attended a swim meet are encouraged to make time to visit the Lions Aquatic Centre during the meet. Admission is free and with four sessions there are four opportunities for you to come out and support Cayman’s youth. Meet sessions are on Wednesday 29th from 5:30-6pm; Friday 2nd from 5:30-8:30pm; Saturday 3rd from 8:30am-12:30pm and Sunday 4th from 9:00am-12 Noon. to blog visit www.ieyenews.com

‘Off The Beaten Track’ a huge success
Governor Duncan Taylor’s relay team (The Governor’s Office).
This past Sunday marked the 3rd annual Off The Beaten Track 50k ultra-marathon. This year’s race attracted over 100 participants consisting of 17 relay teams and 9 individual runners. This one of a kind trail run which kicked off at 6.30am is unique to Cayman, as it ventures ‘off the beaten track’ on the beach, dirt roads, through brush and even water crossings. Ken Krys, CEO of KRyS Global and founder of the race, was very proud of all the participants. “This is the third year for Off The Beaten Track and I am very happy with the outcome. Every year the route changes and gives runners the opportunity to see parts of Cayman they are probably not familiar with”, Krys said. “This year we made the course a little more challenging incorporating the kayak challenge in the 6th leg of the race, so that added a whole new element to the race”. KRyS Global also had a relay team, with Krys himself finishing the last leg of the race.
Elizabeth Berns (individual female winner)

The course was 50 kilometres long and covered different areas of the island, including: Seven Mile Beach, George Town, South Sound, Airport/industrial park area, Safehaven and West Bay. Since the race is broken up into 6 parts, each relay team member runs approximately 8.3K. For those that ran the race as an individual runner, this is a particularly a tough feat. The fastest male individual runner was Conrad Proud crossing the finish line with a time of 5:06:15, picking up his baby girl and crossing the line with her in his arms. Proud also participated last year as part of the winning relay team, Beer Me. The fastest female individual runner was Elizabeth Berns with an amazing finishing time of 6:18:50. This is her second year winning as the fastest individual female runner. The first relay team to reach the finish line in 3 hours, 43 minutes and 24 seconds was The Leftovers. Team members included: Marius Acker, Chris Rose, Jonathan Shillito,
Conrad Proud (individual male winner)
Tristan Von Kirchenheim, Carl Grant and Ray Welds. Welds ran the last leg, being the first runner of the day to complete the race. The fasted coed relay team was Marco’s Marauders finishing in 4:20:47. This team included: Marlon Crowe, Marco Miranda, Gabriela Davies, Martin Davies, Roger Davies and Sam Ellis. The Ogiers Girls, who have participated all three years, finished the race with a time of 4:47:57. The ‘girls’ consisted of Lisa Kehoe, Claire Lloyd-Hickey, Dawn Kirton, Kirsten McMillan, Pat McCallum and Claire Hughes. There was also an award given to the top corporate relay team, RBC Wealth Management, finishing in 4:50:03. Their runners included: George Carvallho, Jana Heath, Graham Coleman, Marius Deysel, Marco Gasper and Johan Heath. Governor Duncan Taylor also had a relay team, the Governor’s Office, finishing overall third place with a finishing time of 4:26:11. Governor Taylor ran leg 1 of the race
throughout Safehaven and parts of Seven Mile Beach. This year’s proceeds are going to benefit Facing Africa, Cayman’s ARK and the School of Fitness. Facing Africa is a charity dedicated to helping children in Nigeria and Ethiopia who suffer from a disease, NOMA. Cayman’s ARK also had two relay teams participate in the race. “Being able to help out these charities and organisations is very rewarding…that is what the race is all about,” Krys stated. “We had tremendous support from the local community. We would also like to give a huge thanks to all of the volunteers, the race could not take place without them.” Off The Beaten Track had donations from many organisations and individuals, including main sponsors: KRyS Global, Tower Marketing, BrownRudnick, Conyer, Dill & Pearman, Caymanian Compass, and Ritch & Conolly. They also had volunteer photographers assisting: Jenn Smith, Ioto Iotov and Colleen Stoezel.

Generosity of spirit fuels Angela Sealey During Honouring Women’s Month which is celebrated in March the Department of Sports will be highlighting the accomplishments of women athletes or administrators who assisted in the development of sports in these islands. Those selected are Angela Sealey (bodybuilder), Evelyn Rockett (Cayman’s first physical education teacher, athlete and administrator), Lucille Seymour first woman Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of Sports), Cherry Whittaker (instrumental in starting the first CIFA sanction Women’s Football League), Edna Moyle (First woman Minster of Sports), Juliana O’Connor-Connolly, Deputy Premier and Minster of District Administration, Works, Lands and Agriculture (first dedicated physical education teacher in Cayman Brac). Department of Sports Women’s Coordinator Merta Day said, “It is important that we remember the contributions that these women have made and I hope we can all take time during this month to pay tribute to them,” Ms. Day stated. The first woman to be profiled is Angela Sealey, a world renowned and regional bodybuilder whose generosity of spirit and guidance has helped many women to achieve their fitness goals. Ms. Sealey, the Chief Executive Officer of CAYS Foundation, credits sport as one of the tools of her success. She holds both Bachelors and Masters degrees in Social Work and a Masters degree in Business Administration, along with a certificate in nutrition and personal training. Her sporting achievements are equally impressive, having won titles in bodybuilding for Ms Barbados and represented Cayman Islands at the CAC Championships to win and obtain her professional status. She placed fourth among the top 10 female bodybuilders in the world. “I am proud to say ‘I did it my way’,” she declared. “Sports, and bodybuilding in particular, are about leading a healthy lifestyle. The selfconfidence you get from being a bodybuilder can extend to other aspects of your life and make you a more successful person overall,” she said. Now 51 years old, Ms Sealey said that to blog visit www.ieyenews.com
from a young age she had an interest in sport, which was supported by her parent Gloria and Arthur Sealey. She participated in dance and gymnastics and then moved on to track and field. “I enjoy sports and have had the opportunity to participate in many and at very competitive levels,” she noted. Her favourite sport is bodybuilding. “Bodybuilding is the best way to increase your strength and improve your health. Exercise puts you on a natural high all day,” she explained. Ms Sealey was at first skeptical about bodybuilding, because she didn’t believe that women had the ability to build muscles. “So I decided to begin lifting weights and the next thing I knew I was on the stage as a competitor. This is now a way of life for me,” she said. “After I started lifting weights, I just became addicted to the changes my body was making. My interest has been sustained by the fact that I always feel good, and it is a very good way to reduce stress. Over the years, I have found bodybuilding to be a great avenue for building self-confidence. I feel healthy and look great. There is no better feeling when you exercise regularly. You feel empowered to take on the world,” she added. Ms. Sealey encourages parents to get their girls involved in sport, because it is fundamental to early development.
“Skills learnt during play, physical education and sport contribute to the holistic development of young people. Through participation in sport, young people learn about the importance of key values such as honesty, teamwork, fair play, respect for themselves and others, and adherence to rules,” she stated. She pointed to the overwhelming amount of evidence that focuses on the (mostly positive) effects of sport and exercise on physical health, growth and development. “Regular participation in sports is associated with a longer and better quality of life, reduced risk of a variety of diseases many psychological and emotional benefits,” she added. Ms. Sealey supports idea of Honouring Women’s Month, because “so often women are merely a first name on a pedigree chart and sometimes no name at all. But does that mean their contribution to society is any less? Regardless of the fact that the male-dominated history books skip over women, they have played important roles in the home, in business and in the community. It is important that we remember the contributions that women have made to our family tree and to our county. It is therefore important to pay tribute to them. Without them, you would not be here,” she said.
